There was a dignity to Robert Ryan's performances and a natural quality that led some folks to think his work was effortless. It was not. He prepared meticulously for roles and acted 'from the inside out". He understood the psychology of the men he was portraying and it was that ability or gift that enabled him to achieve such authenticity, despite the variety of roles he played. An admirable actor, man...and human being.

I honestly think Robert Ryan was the most underappreciated actors of all time. Even his villains were so much more complex, three dimensional characters compared to others in films during the same period. His performances in Crossfire, Bad Day At Black Rock and the Set Up have to be seen, and his filmograpghy is full unsung gems such as On Dangerous ground.
